The topic describes the reference information for working with abstract products.

Variants tab

Note

No values are available for selection when you create a product bundle. When you create a bundle, one product variant will be added by default.

  • While creating an abstract product, you will see a list of super attributes that derive from Products > Attributes. You can select as many super attributes as you need and define from one to many values for them (those values will define the difference between the product variants). Please keep in mind that moving forward, you will be able to create product variants only based on the selected super attributes. As well as you need to add at least one super attribute and define at least one value for it in order to be able to add more product variants in the future.
  • While editing the abstract product/product bundle, you will see a table that displays the product variants that exist for this abstract product. From this page, you can View, Edit, and Manage Attributes for the product variant.

  • Start from (included) and Finish at (included) values that identify a period of time when a specific price is going to be set for a product automatically.
